Paradise (lost & Found) Lyrics - The Outer Marker - Just Jack

Hanging about in the sun with 

Prozac Annie and the Schizo alcoholics 

The sharp edged shadows and these mad electronics 

The barbecue's burning with the moon ray sensations 

I'm lying on my back and watching cloud formations 

The barbecue's burning with the moon ray sensations 

I'm lying on my back and watching cloud formations 

Trying to see the beauty minus the black inside 

She told me people came here to get drunk before they died 

Too many problems and not enough solutions 

Ms. Monroe is in the bathroom taking care of her ablutions 

Hiding myself behind illusions, stand back 

And watch the evolution of the secondhand lives you're using 

So many fucked up souls in this locality 

I need the choice of some relative banality 

The raw twistings of your mind spewing forth 

As you stare at me is fucking scaring me 

Paradise lost and paradise found 

I'm just trying to keep my feet on the ground 

Paradise lost and paradise found 

And I'm just trying to get lost in my sound 

Paradise lost and paradise found 

I'm just trying to keep my feet on the ground 

I'm just trying to keep my feet on the ground 

Storms rage across metallic skies 

Reflecting in the multi-faceted eyes 

Of lazy buzzing flies, the heavens collide 

In primeval cacophonies, I contemplate my demise 

And hope the gods are appeased 

A long distance love affair that's alive but barely breathing 

A thousand times I thought about leaving 

Giving all this up and put myself at your mercy 

But still scared to death about the fact you might hurt me 

Instead I came here and became an agony uncle 

And now I'm saddled with this freaky carbuncle 

Who's stalking me forcefully and I'm begging her 

Please let me go about my business peacefully 

Let my days flow seamlessly 

'Cause since you've been around 

Everything's got so messy, you stress me 

God bless me and test me daily 

Paradise lost and paradise found 

I'm just trying to keep my feet on the ground 

Paradise lost and paradise found 

And I'm just trying to get lost in my sound 

Paradise lost and paradise found 

I'm just trying to keep my feet on the ground 

I'm just trying to keep my feet on the ground 

Well, it's the original tales of the unexpected 

You thought I couldn't do it now stand corrected 

'Cause I'm connected to every nerve ending 

Cerebral cortex messages I'm sending 

There's two sides to every story black and white 

The day and night, wrong and right 

And the paradise lost and found 

All inside this sound 

Paradise lost and paradise found 

I'm just trying to keep my feet on the ground 

Paradise lost and paradise found 

And I'm just trying to get lost in my sound 

Paradise lost and paradise found 

I'm just trying to keep my feet on the ground 

I'm just trying to keep my feet on the ground 

Paradise lost and paradise found 

I'm just trying to keep my feet on the ground 

Paradise lost and paradise found 

And I'm just trying to get lost in my sound 

Paradise lost and paradise found 

I'm just trying to keep my feet on the ground 

I'm just trying to keep my feet on the ground
